Jack at reception was absolutely superb, he’s a credit to the hotel. Bed was broken so we used the suitcase stand under the mattress.

Basic but good value
The hotel is dated, but considering the price it was great. The bed was comfortable, with clean sheets and the shower was hot with plenty of water. It has ample free parking and a 24 hour desk for late check in.
